A candle light in the fog quality imbues Noé Solange’s “Running Away” with an heartfelt lonely and lost quality as her voice intones a desire to escape a relationship that has turned toxic leaving complicated emotional tanglements in the wake of its dissolution. When the vocals seem to rush into a gentle flurry of sounds it’s like Solange is able to get lost in a crowd to succeed in that escape. The soft but rippling tones and minimal beats seem to reinforce a sense that the narrator of the song had to calm her own mind and steel her resolve to make the break for real instead of an urgent notion never acted upon. The delicacy of feeling with the underlying intensity gives the song an unexpected power that lingers with you. Solange is currently unsigned and self-releasing her music so follow her trajectory on her Spotify account.
